Abstract

Disclosed is an overhead criminal capturing system comprised of joysticks, buttons, video display, microphone, speaker and a virtual reality headset remotely controlling an electrically motorized mechanical gripper that is attached to an electrically motorized mechanical arm that is attached to an electrically motorized wall and ceiling mounted rail system.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

People commit crimes because they believe no one will hastily intervene in their heinous acts. History shows security personnel will cautiously pursue and capture the criminal. But being cautious lengthens the time to end the heinous act. The present disclosed invention will shorten or prevent the heinous act by having remote joysticks, remote buttons, remote video display, and a remote virtual reality headset control an electrically motorized wall and ceiling mounted rail gripper to hastily pursue, intervene, and capture the criminal by maneuvering overhead of non-criminals to attack the criminal from above by ejecting an entrapping net and gripping onto the criminal.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The invention as claimed is a remote-controlled mechanical gripper constructed to capture a person from overhead by ejecting an entrapping net and gripping onto the criminal. The invention as claimed contains a wall and ceiling mounted rail system, rail carriage, mechanical articulated arm, mechanical articulated gripper, site controller housing, and remote controller housing. Said gripper supports electric motors, tether, entrapping net, deployment chute, compressed gas cartridge, mechanical fingers, laser, microphone, LED, infrared emitter, cameras, switch, speaker, and electrical shock causing spikes. Said arm supports electric motors, camera, and electrical shock causing surfaces. Said carriage supports power and data collectors, electric motors, and wheels. Said rail system supports electric motors, power and data rails, microphones, power-data transfer box, multi-conductor cable, wall mounts, and ceiling mounts. Said site controller supports batteries, power supply, power cord, communication processors, and electric motor control processors. Said remote controller supports batteries, power supply, power cord, communication processors, virtual reality headset, joysticks, buttons, video display, microphone, and speaker.
